Actually, sometimes I want to resign and
be a full time house wife to Ian and mom to Rhian but since we have lots of
plans and dreams for our family, nagbago na isip ko. I need to help my husband
in raising money for our family needs and for Rhian’s future kaya dapat mas
lalo kaming magsumikap mag asawa para sa aming pamilya.

Being a mother is learning about strengths
you didn't know you had and dealing with the fears you didn’t know existed. The
joy in motherhood comes in moments. There will be hard times and frustrating
times. But amid the challenges there are shining moments of joy and
satisfaction. So here are some of changes in my/our life when Rhian came in.

Yes! Humaba talaga pacensya ko. There are times or should I say always that I
am so sleep-deprived that I don’t even recognize myself anymore and since paiba
iba ng sleeping hours ang baby, I need to adjust. I need to wait patiently kung
kelan sya matutulog before akong matulog. Well, mothers are basically part of
scientific experiment to prove that sleep is not a crucial part of human life. Long
nap is actually a luxury to all mothers!

4. Rhian taught me to sing.

I’m not a good
singer, but you know you’re a mom when you can sing a lullaby even if you’re
half asleep. Well, kabisado ko na ata lahat ng lullaby eh para lang makatulog
si baby. Hehe.

5. Rhian makes us complete.

Now, I can say
that I have my own family – Mother, Father and Daughter. Akala ko noon,
mahihirapan akong mabuntis but my husband told me “Don’t worry because God is
always on time.” He’s right, because Rhian came at the right time.

6. I learn more about LOVE and many other
things.

Having Rhian in our life is like I saw the greatest glimpse of what
God’s love is really like. You know what, I've also grown to love my husband;
he’s now more matured and responsible father to our daughter. My family is an
absolute joy to me and I cannot imagine a life plan that doesn't involve them
in it. There is love stronger than I've ever felt and happiness never so real.

As a first time mom/parents, there are
some days I am so tired of everything that I just want to cry and stay at
room alone because my frustration has peaked, but then I realized that there
are also many more magical moments to being a parent than I ever imagined. So I promise that I will never get tired of taking care of my family because the love
of a family is life’s greatest blessing.

And to end this post, I want to share with
you a simple message of a mom for her baby. (I got this from familyshare.com)
